Sky Bet punters were left cursing a number of surprise FA Cup results on Saturday, including Aston Villa's shock third-round exit at the hands of Sky Bet League 1 outfit Sheffield United.

Jamie Murphy's deflected strike put the Blades ahead at Villa Park and although Nicklas Helenius levelled the scores, Ryan Flynn's superb strike late on sealed a famous 2-1 victory.

This result followed a great start to the day for the bookmakers when ante-post favourites Manchester City, who were among the most popular selections in accumulators up and down the country, were held to a 1-1 draw at Sky Bet Championship side Blackburn.

Arsenal are 11/2 with Sky Bet to lift the FA Cup after they knocked out arch-rivals Tottenham.

Goals from Santi Cazorla and Tomas Rosicky ensured a 2-0 success over Tim Sherwood's side and a place in the fourth round draw.

Manuel Pellegrini's outfit are the 5/1 market leaders currently with the firm but they will need to come out on top in that replay at the Etihad Stadium.
